Default Engine Tornado

Has anyone installed one of these on their Blazer? If so, what kind of gain did you see?

You'll get the gist of it reading through the first few threads in that search. I wouldn't recommend them, especially on a newer fuel injected vehicle.

I think they are a waste of money except on carbuerated engines. My granny had one on her Aerostar van and it worked well, but its a different story with the vortec fuel injected engine/
